move fish abroad

[Hadewych]

Anyone any advise on how I could move 8 goldfish - I know it's quite
silly but they do have sentimental value :) - (quite small, the biggest
one is only 15 cm) abroad? They have to go by van overnight - say 24
h - I don't suppose I will be able to take them by plane?

I was thinking of putting them in a plastic container (toybox type or
IKEA recycle box) and taping the lid watertight - most probably it will
be airtight (except for a small airbubble) too then - can fish survive
that? Can I add pond plants and pond water to start the new pond off?


Thanks!

You don't say which country you are going to but I'd first check their
rules relating to importing live fish. Some are quite strict about it
as they don't want any diseases brought into their country.
